Definitions

  • the present invention is related to the field of biotechnology and the pharmaceutical industry, in particular to the obtaining of proteins capable of inducing an immune response against the infection with Dengue virus, quoted from now on as DEN, while avoiding the antibody-dependent enhancement phenomenon that has been described in persons re-infected with this virus.
  • the causal agent of this disease is the Dengue virus of the genus Flavivirus , family Flaviviridae, which is transmitted by the mosquito Aedes aegypti (Leyssen P., De Clerco E., Neyts J. 2000. Perspectives for the treatment of infections with Flaviviridae. Clin. Microbiol. Rev. 13: 67-82).
  • Dengue virus is an RNA positive coated virus, whose genome contains only one reading frame. This RNA is translated in a polyprotein that is processed in three structural proteins and seven non-structural proteins. (Russell P. K., Brandt W. E., Dalrymple J. M. 1980. Chemical and antigenic structure of flaviviruses. The togaviruses: biology, structure, replication. Schelesinger R. W. (ed.). 503-529).
  • the antibody-virus complexes can be internalized by cells presenting Fey receptors in the membranes, like monocytes and macrophages. This mechanism, known as antibodies-dependent enhancement (ADE) occurs during secondary infections.
  • AD antibodies-dependent enhancement
  • Halstead et al. (Halstead S. B., Scanlon J. E., Umpaivit P., Udomsakdi S. 1969. Dengue and Chikungunya virus infection in man in Thailand, 1962-1964. IV. Epidemiologic studies in the Bangkok metropolitan area. Am. J. Trop. Med. Hyg. 18: 997-1021.), in a 3-year study in Bangkok, Thailand, reported that the hospitalization indices by DEN infection among children, reached a maximum in those between 7 and 8 months old. These indices were four to eight times greater than the observed between children of 1-3 months and twice than that in children of 3 years. Kliks et al. (Kliks S.
  • T-cells epitopes have been reported mainly in nonstructural proteins (Kurane I, Zeng L, Brinton M A, Ennis F A. 1998. Definition of an epitope on NS3 recognized by human CD4+ cytotoxic T lymphocyte clones cross-reactive for dengue virus types 2, 3, and 4. Virology. 1998 Jan. 20; 240(2):169-74), but also are present in the envelope and in the capsid proteins (Bukowski, J. F., I. Kurane, C.-J. Lai, M. Bray, B. Falgout, and F. A. Ennis. 1989. Dengue virus-specific cross-reactive CD8 human cytotoxic T lymphocytes. J. Virol.
  • the capsid protein of Dengue virus has a molecular weight of 9 to 12 kDa (112-127 amino acids) and has a marked basic character because the 25% of its amino acids are arginine and lysine. The presence of these amino acids could favor antigenic presentations to the immune system due to the capacity of polycationic peptides to do so.
  • Poly-1-arginine synergizes with oligodeoxynucleotides containing CpG-motifs (CpG-ODN) for enhanced and prolonged immune responses and prevents the CpG-ODN-induced systemic release of pro-inflammatory cytokines.
  • Vaccine. 20: 3498-3508 The protein is located totally within the virion structure without any exposed region (Kuhn R J, Zhang W, Rossmann M G, Pletnev S V, Corver J, Lenches E, Jones C T, Mukhopadhyay S, Chipman P R, Strauss E G, Baker T S, Strauss J H. 2002. Structure of dengue virus: implications for flavivirus organization, maturation, and fusion. Cell. March 8: 108(5):717-25).
  • Flavivirus Capsid Is a Dimeric Alpha-Helical Protein. Journal of Virology, p 7143-7149, Vol. 77, No. 12) purified the capsid protein of VD2 obtained by the recombinant way in Escherichia coli ( E. coli ) and demonstrated that this protein behaves like a dimmer in solution without nucleic acids. Its secondary structure is mainly in form of alpha-helices and is composed by four of these helices, being one of those of greater length in the C-terminal end. The N-terminal end does not present a defined structure and its deletion does not affect the structural integrity of the protein.
  • This invention describes for the first time that the capsid of DEN-2 virus, obtained by a recombinant way in E. coli and with only a 40% of purity, is able to induce a protective immune response against the challenge with lethal DEN-2 virus in mice. It was demonstrated that this highly purified protein, retained its protective capacity, which was surpassed in the immunization of mice with the particulated form of the molecule. Moreover, it was demonstrated that the reached protection was mediated by CD8+ T-cells, a novel element considering that the reported T-cells epitopes for the capsid so far, are recognized by CD4+ T cells (Gagnon S J, Zeng W, Kurane I, Ennis F A. 1996.
  • this recombinant molecule was mixed with the PD5 protein, which is formed by the P64k protein of Neisseria meningitidis and the III domain of the envelope protein of the Dengue-2 virus.
  • This fusion protein is able to generate a highly serotype specific, protective and neutralizing immune response, with a low probability of generating the phenomenon of antibodies dependent enhancement (Hermida L, Rodriguez R, Lazo L, Silva R, Zulueta A, Chinea G, Lopez C, Guzman M G, Guillen G. 2004.
  • a dengue-2 Envelope fragment inserted within the structure of the P64k meningococcal protein carrier enables a functional immune response against the virus in mice. J Virol Methods. 2004 January; 115(1):41-9).
  • the objective of this invention is to obtain a recombinant protein corresponding to the capsid protein of Dengue virus, which generates a protective response against the infection with the lethal virus when is inoculated in mice.
  • the gene codifying for the capsid protein of Dengue virus was inserted into a plasmid containing the phage T5 promoter.
  • This protein was purified approximately till a 40% of purity, and was adjuvated in aluminum hydroxide to be inoculated in Balb/c mice. A month upon the last dose the antiviral antibody response was measured. At the same time the lymphoproliferative response in spleens stimulated in vitro with the dengue virus was determined. As a result no antiviral antibodies were induced while a significant lymphoproliferative response was detected. In parallel, in not bleeding mice, the protection assay was done. A lethal doses corresponding to 100 LD 50 of Dengue virus was inoculated, the disease symptoms and death were observed during 21 days. As a result a 44% of survival-immunized mice were obtained while in the negative control group all mice died. This is the first evidence of a protective response against Dengue virus by the immunization only with the capsid protein.
  • the semipurified preparation was detected a fraction with lower retention times, while in the purified sample a retention time corresponding to the dimeric form of the molecule was detected.
  • the dimeric and particulated preparations both with more than 95% of purity, were inoculated in mice.
  • the dimeric preparation was adjuvated with Freund Adjuvant and aluminum hydroxide, while the particulated variant was adjuvated only with aluminum hydroxide.

  • a plasmid containing the III domain of the envelope protein of DEN-2 virus fused to the N-terminal of the capsid protein gene was constructed.
  • the resulting protein with a 40% of purity, generated in Balb/c mice a lymphoproliferative response higher than that induced by the capsid alone and a serotype specific antibodies response higher than that induced by PD5.

  • the biomass obtained from the E. coli strain transformed with pDC-2 DomIII and grown at 37° C. was disrupted by French press.
  • the recombinant protein was obtained equally distributed between the soluble and insoluble fractions.
  • From the soluble fraction an anionic interchange chromatography was done, using a Q Sepharose FF column and the buffer Tris 10 mM pH 8.
  • the protein in the non-absorbed fraction was obtained with 40% of purity, and was used to the immunological studies ( FIG. 2 ).
  • mice Five groups of 30 Balb/c mice were used. One of the groups was immunized with 10 ug of the recombinant protein by intraperitoneal route, using aluminum hydroxide as adjuvant. The soluble fraction resulting from the rupture of the XL-1 Blue cells transformed with the plasmid pQE-30 was used as negative control, adjuvanted with aluminum hydroxide. Another two groups were included as controls. One of them was immunized with the protein PDC-2 and the other with the protein PD5 (this protein contains the domain III region of the envelope protein of DEN-2 virus). Ten animals from each group were bled 15 days after the third dose and the antibody titers against DEN-2 were determined by ELISA.
